Learn how to implement user password authentication in a Node.js and Express application. Explore the process of creating registration and authentication routes, simulating a user database, and securely storing passwords using hashing and salting techniques. Follow along as you install the bcrypt dependency, handle new user requests, create controllers and route files, and test the implemented functionality. Gain practical insights into building secure user authentication systems for web applications.
